There are three notable climbs, after turn 5, after Canada corner, and going up the start finish. None are really steep but will allow pack separation if someone drills it, and they will. Can't believe any are anywhere near 26%?

A bunch of years ago (possibly late 80's) there was a tv interview with one of the drivers right before a Trans-Am race there. I don't remember who it was, maybe Scott Pruett or Willy T. Ribbs (they look similar), kept yammering on and on about how the kink proves who the men are because it's "flat out". Then, every time they showed the in-car from that guy's car, he was lifting like mad through there.
Except for, maybe, an under-powered, open wheeled car with a decent amount of downforce, I don't think anybody goes through there flat-out. Not on every lap, anyway. Seems like a good way to die.
